Patient's question:
I'm not planning to have children anytime soon, but a couple of days ago, I had sex with my husband. I took emergency contraception, and I know that birth control pills contain a lot of hormones. What happens if you take birth control pills too much?Doctor's answer:
Taking emergency oral contraceptives should not be less than once a month, and should not exceed three times a year. Long-term use may lead to endocrine disorders, menstrual disorders, and other symptoms, and may even cause infertility. At the same time, it may lead to breast and cervical cancer. Taking many emergency oral contraceptives in a short period of time will not only greatly reduce the effectiveness of the contraceptives, but also cannot completely rule out the possibility of pregnancy.
